   This entry point allows you re-initialize the KEEPER system with 
   a single call.  The KEEPER system is the kernel management system
   underlying the set of CSPICE APIs

      <a href="kdata_c.html">kdata_c</a>

      <b>kclear_c</b>
      <a href="unload_c.html">unload_c</a>
  
   This routine unloads all kernels from their kernel-type-specific 
   kernel management subsystems (SPKBSR, CKBSR, etc.), clears the 
   kernel pool, clears KEEPER's internal file database, and re-sets 
   the watch status for the kernel variables used to load kernels 
   via meta-kernels. 
 
   This capability, though implemented in Fortran, is particularly 
   relevant to SPICE implementations such as Icy, for which the 
   state of the KEEPER system persists after any Icy-based IDL 
   script is run. Successive runs of Icy-based scripts may perform 
   in unexpected ways when scripts access data loaded during runs of 
   previous scripts. 
    
   Cleaning up after such programs using explicit <a href="unload_c.html">unload_c</a> commands is 
   tedious and error-prone.  One call to this routine sets the 
   KEEPER system to its initial state, preventing unintentional 
   interaction between scripts via KEEPER's state.
